What are the different models of Wrangler called?

Wrangler has undergone four generations of evolution, with model codes designated as YJ, TJ, JK, and the latest JL. In 1986, American Motors Corporation (AMC) showcased a successor model to the Jeep7 at the Chicago Auto Show—the Wrangler. Although the initial Wrangler shared the same wheelbase as the CJ-7 and had an interior very similar to the 1984 Cherokee (XJ), it featured a wider body. More details are as follows: First Generation Wrangler: 1987-1996 Jeep introduced the family's only square-headlight hardcore model—the YJ. The name 'Wrangler' was inherited starting with the YJ model, symbolizing the freedom-loving western cowboy. Second Generation Wrangler (TJ): 1997-2005 The TJ was a cross-century model for the Wrangler. The 1997 second-generation Wrangler reverted to round headlights, a design that has been carried forward to this day, along with the seven-slot grille, becoming classic Wrangler features. Another highlight was the TJ's abandonment of leaf spring suspension in favor of coil spring suspension, which offers better on-road driving performance. Third Generation Wrangler (JK): 2006-2018 The JK series is the most widespread and longest-serving Wrangler model. Fourth Generation Wrangler (JL): 2018-Present The latest 2019 Wrangler belongs to the fourth generation. In this JL-generation Wrangler, we can see many similarities to the JK, as the two models share nearly identical frameworks. However, in terms of configuration and systems, the JL incorporates more attributes of a family-oriented vehicle.
